        now now. that’s just a stupid stance to take. you don’t have to make media to be critical of it.

        or do you have to make a podcast to say joe rogan’s slop is toxic, diseased, and damaging to society?

          “This is a dog shit comic” is not a critique, though, is the thing. It’s just jerking off in public.

            Them saying Joe Rogan’s podcast is “toxic, diseased, and damaging to society” is not better critique than the other poster calling this comic dog shit. Both are just statements that provide no argument or reasoning behind the statements. Sure they could back it up with examples why it is so, but so could the other commenter, which would make either of those comments valid criticism, but without they are equally good (or bad) criticism.

                Providing 2-3 lines of explanatory context is hardly a research paper, but enough to illustrate reason behind a simple statement.

                AFAIK, the author of this comic is somewhat of an asshat that exercises varying degree of censorship on a comic strip subreddit, based on their personal beliefs.

                  like i replied to the original comment that person is complaining about, she’s had some really dumb takes but is usually in the right ballpark. those dumb takes were also cases where she doubled down and yeah, that subreddit is basically a safespace for their superusers/content creators.

            there is no substantive difference between my comment about rogan and that guys comment about this comic. only your opinion is coloring how you take it.

            you and every single person upvoting you are just lemmings wearing a different team’s jersey than the idiot lemming above.

            if anything, we need more haters at this point, because y’all dumb af.

        So, if someone disagrees with your opinion of PizzaShit, they’re somehow a conservative?

        Jesus fucking Christ. This is truly r/comics Al over again.

            Wait, so- in a different discussion where you removed your downvoted comments that were arguing something similar… you were right, but here where the same point could be made, it’s wrong? Let me refresh you, because the you didn’t remove the one that had positive voting:

            If nazzis and I agree 1+1 makes 2 that doesn’t mean we’re all Nazzis.

            So if we change “nazzis” (Nazis) to conservatives….

            Well, I guess we finally see what happens when the pot meets the kettle, don’t we.

        I generally agree with her opinions, but there’s more to thinking a comic is good than pointing at it and going “wow i think that too.” They always just seem like super generic “relatable” jokes, and it’s crazy that they always get 50 billion upvotes.

        The only comic of hers that I’ve found morally objectionable was years ago now, and framed around complaining about her kids.

        It had thousands of downvotes (on reddit) and all the comments were calling her out for being entierly responsible for her situation as a parent, and telling her to suck it up and step up because bitching out her kids like that was damaging them, unproductive and absolutely not funny.

        Out of the thousands of comic panels of hers that I’ve seen, that’s really not a bad track record at all.

      Yeah, the virtue signaling is at an insane level, but the author never seems to take their own advice or take it well when anyone points out their blind spots.

      Lol. Dog shit comments like this being posted on reddit was a good reason to leave that shithole.

      I’m not a fan of her comics, I just don’t find them very funny. But the level of unconstructive hate she gets is absurd. Just move on if you don’t like the comics. If you really dislike them, just block the user or community. It’s not hard. Grow up.
